E-Ball® Systems

E-Ball® systems provide a simple and maintenance free method to cover ponds or tanks to reduce heat loss, evaporation rate, control algae growth, reduce odors and VOC emissions and prevent birds from using airport ponds.

The E-Ball® system is a hollow plastic ball that is used to create a floating blanket to cover virtually any water surface. The low thermal conductivity of plastic combined with the air held in the ball creates a thermal insulation barrier over the water surface. E-Balls® systems form a close-packed configuration and cover over 90% of the water surface, and automatically stack up or spread out in sloped basins to maintain total surface coverage as the water level changes.

Features and Benefits

Features

Heavy weight construction makes the E-Ball® systems maintenance free and virtually indestructible and eliminates the need for plugs, seals, or ballast
Automatically conform to any basin configuration and stack up or spread out in sloped basins to maintain total surface coverage as the water level changes
Quick and easy installation
Heating costs reduced by up to 50%
Reduces evaporation loss by up to 90%
Allows normal movement of equipment through the liquid and does not impede installation of monitoring probes or water sampling
UV stabilizers protect the plastic from damage by ultraviolet rays

Applications

Reduces heat loss to optimize biological treatment during cold weather
Dramatically reduces sunlight penetration to control algae growth
Provides odor control
Provides evaporation control and reduces emission of corrosive vapors
Covers de-icing fluid collection ponds to prevent birds from using airport sites
